Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich just made a little girl's dream come true by gifting her a puppy after seeing a sign she held up during a game.
Girl builds 'birthday boxes' after learning classmates couldn't afford to celebrate their own birthdaysLola called out Yelich on the poster, asking him to hit one out of the park for her.Christian Yelich, an outfielder for the Milwaukee Brewers, surprised Lola Labodda, 6, her sister Libby Labodda, 4 and parents Mike and Jessica Labodda, with an 11-week old mini golden doodle named Yeli, during batting practice at Miller Park on Monday.
But Yelich didn't just hit a homer. When he and the Brewers caught wind of Lola's sign, Yelich decided he'd give the Laboddas a pup himself. Lola and her parents hope that within the year, Yeli will be trained as a diabetes alert dog. Labodda said that once trained, Yeli will protect Lola in medical emergencies, all while being her "best bud" wherever she goes.
